zone offsets

Hi , I have a Carrier Infinity Zone control system . In the setup Menu there is
a setting called Zone offset . Any one know what this does ? I have a static pressure issue and I'm wondering if this my help fix it by leaving a zone slightly opean while the other one is full opean to lower the static pressure .

If your running a 1.1" static with both zones open.
You can rip out the dampers, and your system still won't be fixed.
Your static is TOO high period. Your duct/air distribution system is TOO small period.
Bandaids are not fixes, they just cover up the symptom sometimes.

Think of it this way.
You are killing you VERY VERY expensive VS blower motor. You will be paying to replace it, more then once.

Fixing the duct/distribution system will save you money on repairs, and electrical use.
Your VS blower is using more electric now then a standard blower would.
